Los Angeles at Texas

The Texas Rangers were staring down the barrel of a 0-2 deficit in this series, but while their pitching failed, their big bats came to the rescue in an 11-10 extra-frames thriller. It took a 4 run 10th to pull it off. Momentum has to be on their side for this one, as is the home-field advantage which has led the Rangers to a 66-32 mark in their last 98 here as a favorite. The Rangers have also piled it on vs. a team when off a game where they scored 5 or more runs, as the Rangers have dominated them to the tune of 41-11 in their last 52. C.J. Wilson takes another shot at his former team, but the Angels are 0-4 in his last four starts vs. a winning team. Jim Joyce is behind the plate tonight, and he has been Rangers-friendly, with Texas at 18-5 when he calls balls and strikes. Play on Texas.
